Beauty fashion girl vol 48

EXPANSION

Over at Aquascutum, one of Britain's best known clothing brands, the mood was more subdued but the color scheme for spring and summer next year chimed with Williamson's show and the clothes were just as wearable.

Skinny-legged pants and embroidered shirts were lightened up by the hint of a Japanese aesthetic in the cut of jackets and the design of painted leaves on T-shirts.

Aquascutum and Matthew Williamson share a focus, though having an age gap of nearly 150 years and being of markedly different size. They are both seeking to expand during an unprecedented boom for luxury goods.
